A Costly Experiment,

The Duke of Edinburgh seems to have
very meager fitness for his position in the
British navy. He recently had constructed
at great expense in the Malta dock yard an
immense boom, which was shipped on board
the Temeraire for conveyance to ArEostoli.
as the duke had conceived the idea that it
would he a fne thing to place this boom ct
the entrance OF the harhor there and then 70
test the powers of the Folyphemus by max
ing her burst It just as this crazy exreri-
rlenC was on the point Of being tired it was
pointed out to the duke by some officers who
arc more practical than himself that il bv
any chance the Polyphemus did not cut the
boom clean III two fearful catastrophe
would be the result. 80 tie duke reluctantly
abandoned the idea The boom was one Of
the largest and most elaborate that has sver
been seen, and it h2S now been returned 20

F'Mr JordOn, the fellows who went

These chaps evidently think the brig is a

arrive they'll make an attempt to capture
her.

believe there was a single firearIn left.
| A dozen natives could put off in our yaTl
and capture the brig without the loss OF a
man. There was q mat covering the door

| was no need OF q sentry. l was standing

thing in box. It might have been a
bullet or 4 button. Whatever it was their
curiosity was highly excited, but they had
scarcely got their heads together when

muskets. In my gr0ggy state l shouldn't

The natives were still yelling and whoop-

credit TO professional runners. We struck

OUR DREAM.

Perchence to men ii may not be given
To know things real from things that seem;
If, living on earth we dream Of heaven,
Why. then, hold it better to dream
Let us dream on mid the splendid shadows
That make existence glGdsone thing,
The dim deep woods and the f1owery meadows
Where fairies frolic and sky larlzs sing;
Where bright shapes nnger and angel faces
Glow in the CLEAN Of a visioned day,
And DER the uplands on grassy spaces,
Fond lovers wander, fair children play
Eet US dream still, then. nor strive TO sever
Things that are real from things that seem;
Let US slumber on forever and ever
And know no waking from lifes glad dream.

Work.
heard only today Of a novel combination
made by LIE Geulois, a royalist Catholic jour
nal, edited by the famous Jew, Arthur
Meyer, he who unfairly wounded Edmund
Drumont, author Of ia France Juive," in q
duel, some months ago. The intention of the
paper is to economic for its subscribers and
at the same time aid some charitable work.
The paper is to be gwen for nothing; or, in
other words, the subscription is TO be paid by
the merchants patronized by the subscribers.
lie Gaulois starts on the basis that a journal
Is the bond Of union, the medium of cornmu-
nication between its readers and mercantile
houses On one side the journal receives
money from advertisements, on the other
from subscriptions, so that it is much simpler
to ask the mercantile houses to pay the sub
scriptions. In that case, readers viii be
anxious to subscribe and mercantile houses
anxious to pay the largest number Of sub
scriptions possible. as each subscription rep
resents patron. LIE Gaulois therefore, has
g list Of 500 prominent houses that sell every
thing from pair Of shoes TO a landau, and
the names of these houses form Livre dor
golden book To each ono Of these ner-
chants The Gaulois said: "We offer you no
ordinary advertisements, and only ask you
to allow your name to be used in our columns
three times q week. So much the worse for
U.s. II our readers pay no attention to the
insertion, you owe Us nothing. But If they
go to you-if they buy-so much the better
for them Then you win pay US the price Of
a subscription TO The Gauois for length OF
time in proportion to the amount of the pur-
chase"
10 their readers they said: Read our Livre
dor There you will find the names Of your
merchants. You Will also find new names.
Whenever you have purchase to make 90
TO one OF the houses mentioned in tile Livre
dor. Buy, and do not mention The Gaulois,
but take your recsipted bin and send it TO the
Journal as payment for your subscription.
The Gaulois accepts this bill as a check, and
sends an ernploye TO the house where you
have made your purchase for the amount Of
your subscription"

ADVANTAGES OF THE sCHE1r1.

In this way the subscriber pays for his
newspapers without untying his purse strings,
and the merchant arranges for his advertise
ment by paying the subscription OF his pa
tron. But if the subscriber does not wish to
pay the subscription with his receipt, prefer
ring to pay as has been his custom, The Gau-
lois offers TO give, in the subscribers name,
the price Of his subscription to some chart
table association. Then they return the re-
ceipt Of the merchant and the receipt Of the
charitable association.
This scheme seems to have many advan-
tages, and perhaps there is nothing unfavor-
able in connection with it As The Gaulois
subscriber does not announce himself as such
when he buys, there is 10 danger that the
merchants win increase their prices, and in
Paris nearly al these houses have prices
plainly marked One important question is:
How much must one buy in order to have the
right to Gauois subscription The yearly
subscription is &l1, and this represents five
per cent of the purchase, so that 1920 must
be spent to allow for the yearly subscription.

mutilation of the file. Now, however that
the opportunity offers to fix guilt, let the
House proceed to do it. Any hesitation
will but implicate those who may oppose
an exhaustive inquiry and the due APP
plication of penalties. The Assemblyman
who throws obstacles in the way of the
committee viii lay himself open to the
imputation of fearing the result. For the
Assembly, as body, to discourage the in
vestigation will invite the criticism that
it is willing to become the apologist for
crime. No Legislature has been more

Here, now, is its opportunity to separate
